BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a composition, in particular one for making up the eyes, comprising oxyalkylenated silicone derivatives. These compositions have improved cosmetic properties, in particular of staying power.

2. Description of the Background

Many mascara formulations exist on the market. However, the consumer still expects an improvement in the properties of these mascaras, namely the lengthening of the eyelash, better adhesion of the composition to the eyelash, better shaping, also referred to as weighting, of the eyelashes, better staying power of the make-up over time and better resistance to mechanical stresses. For example, some users wish to be able to keep the same make-up on for the day and the evening. It is also known that rubbing the fingers on the eyelids and the contact of spectacles with the eyelashes tend to crumble the mascara away. In particular, the presence of pigments and/or fillers in compositions for making up the eyelashes makes these compositions particularly subject to crumbling. The compositions known to date have not solved these problems satisfactorily.

The object of the present invention is to provide a composition, in particular one for making up the eyes, which dries rapidly and has improved properties of lengthening and weighting of the eyelashes, of staying power and of mechanical strength.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The object of the invention is met by a cosmetic composition, in particular one for making up the eyelashes, comprising:

(a) at least one aqueous phase comprising at least one film-forming polymer,

(b) at least one fatty phase comprising at least one wax, and

(c) at least one silicone selected from the group consisting of:

(i) oxyalkylenated silicones, and

(ii) linear polysiloxane-polyoxyalkylene block copolymers

The object of the invention is also met by the use of a composition as defined above for the production of a make-up having better staying power over time and/or improved weighting and/or better resistance to crumbling and/or better lengthening of the eyelashes and/or an improved rate of drying.

The object of the invention is also met by the use of a silicone selected from the group consisting of:

(i) oxyalkylenated silicones, and

(ii) linear polysiloxane-polyoxyalkylene block copolymers,

in a cosmetic composition, in particular one for making up the eyes, comprising:

(a) at least one aqueous phase comprising al least one film-forming polymer, and

(b) at least one fatty phase comprising at least one wax, to impart to this composition better staying power over time and/or improved weighting and/or better resistance to crumbling and/or better lengthening of the eyelashes and/or an improved rate of drying.

These compositions are preferably in the form of an emulsion of the fatty phase in the aqueous phase or a dispersion of the aqueous phase in the fatty phase.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Hitherto, dimethicone copolyols were known in various applications: as an emulsifying agent in compositions of the water-in-oil type, or alternatively as a plasticizer in hairstyling products. For example, EP-A-705,595, describes hairstyling compositions comprising a plasticizer, which may be a dimethicone copolyol or a polycarboxylic acid, in order to improve the flexibility of fixing resins.

However, the compositions described in EP-A-705,595, are very different in terms of their structure from compositions for making up the eyes. In particular, these compositions contain neither pigments nor fillers, nor do they contain large amounts of waxes. On reading that document, nothing would lead a person skilled in the art to think that the properties of lengthening of the eyelash, of adhesion to the eyelash, of weighting of the eyelashes, of staying power of the make-up and of resistance of the mascaras to mechanical stresses could he improved in a spectacular manner by the use of dimethicone copolyols.

The compositions according to the invention also advantageously contain at least one pigment, which may be selected from inorganic, organic and optionally pearlescent pigments. These pigments are preferably included in a proportion ranging from 0.25 to 25%, preferably from 1 to 20%, by weight relative to the total weight of the composition, depending on the coloration and intensity of the coloration which it is desired to obtain. Among the pigments which can be used include the oxides of zinc, of iron or of chromium, ferric blue, carbon black and the lakes commonly employed which ate salts of acidic dyes.

The composition according to the invention thus comprises a silicone which may be an oxyalkylenated silicone.

Having generally described this invention, a further understanding can be obtained by reference to certain specific examples which are provided herein for purposes of illustration only and are not intended to be limiting unless otherwise specified.

EXAMPLES

In the examples, all the percentages are given by weight of active material.

The cascaras are evaluated by users (6 individuals) for their speed of drying, their immediate adhesion to the eyelash, their staying power over time, their resistance to rubbing (the user rubs her eyelids with the fingers and observes the state of the make-up after rubbing), and the lengthening and weighting which they impart to the eyelashes.

Example 1

A mascara composition according to the invention is prepared by making a homogeneous mixture from the following ingredients:

Beeswax   3% Carnauba wax   3% Paraffin  13% Black iron oxide   7% Triethanolamine stearate   9% Gum arabic 3.5% Hydroxyethylcellulose   1% Oxyethylenated polydimethylsiloxane(*) 0.6% Sodium polymethacryate 0.25%  Preserving agents qs Water qsp (*)marketed by the company Dow Corning under the commercial reference Q2-5220

This composition is judged by the users as satisfying all the criteria of choice: it adheres well to the eyelash, dries rapidly, lengthens and weights the eyelash, it has very good staying power and excellent resistance to rubbing (no crumbling observed).

Example 2 (comparative)

Beeswax   3% Carnauba wax   3% Paraffin  13% Black iron oxide   7% Triethanolamine stearate   9% Gum arabic 3.5% Hydroxyethylcellulose   1% Sodium polymethacryate 0.25%  Preserving agents qs Water qsp

A mascara composition is obtained by homogeneous mixing of all the components. Two hours after it is applied, this mascara is evaluated by the users as being satisfactory but inferior to the mascara of Example 1 in terms of speed of drying, lengthening of the eyelash and especially weighting of the eyelashes, staying power over time and resistance to rubbing (a little crumbling observed).

Example 3 (comparative)

Beeswax   3% Carnauba wax   3% Paraffin  13% Black iron oxide   7% Triethanolamine stearate   9% Gum arabic 3.5% Hydroxyethylcellulose   1% Triethyl acetyl citrate 0.6% Sodium polymethacryate 0.25%  Preserving agents qs Water qsp

A mascara composition is obtained by homogeneous mixing of all the components. Two hours after it is applied, this mascara is evaluated by the users: it is judged as having poor staying power. The resistance to rubbing is very insufficient. The mascara crumbles forming flakes.

Triethyl acetyl citrate is known as a plasticizer for resins, as are certain oxyalkylenated silicones; however, it does not have the properties of oxyalkylenated silicones in the compositions according to the invention.

Example 4 (comparative)

a mascara composition according to the invention is prepared by making a homogeneous mixture from the following ingredients:

Beeswax   3% Carnauba wax   3% Paraffin  13% Black iron oxide   7% Triethanolamine stearate   9% Oxyethylenated polydimethylsiloxane(*) 4.75%  Preserving agents qs Water qsp (*)marketed by the company Dow Corning under the commercial reference Q2-5220

It is seen in this example that in the absence of film-forming polymer (replaced by its equivalent weight of Q2-5220) a composition is obtained having a viscosity equivalent to that of water, which cannot be used for make-up. In addition, the pigments are very poorly dispersed.

Comparative tests

The effect of a dimethicone copolyol according to the invention was compared with various plasticizers.

In the composition according to Example 1 described above, the dimethicone copolyol was replaced by its weight equivalent of each of the following plasticizers:

Test 1: 2-ethylhexyl palmitate

Test 2: diisopropyl adipate

Test 3: triethyl acetyl citrate

Test 4: tributyl citrate

Test 5: tripropylene glycol n-butyl ether

The make-up obtained with each of these tests was compared, relative to the composition according to Example 1=control. Each criterion was evaluated between 0 and 3.

0=unsatisfactory criterion

3=entirely satisfactory criterion

The results are outlined in Table I.

TABLE I Rate of Staying Resistance Test drying Weighting power to rubbing Comments Control 3 3 3 3 1 0 1 3 0 does not attach to the eyelash/ uncomfortable 2 1 0 3 0 uncomfortable 3 0 2 0 0 sticks the eyelashes together/poor lengthening/poor curving 4 1 1 3 1 limp eyelashes 5 0 1 0 0

It is observed in these tests that, in contrast with dimethicone copolyols, the plasticizers of common use do not allow the desired properties to be obtained.
